By introducing the case of the Keewaytinook Okimakanak Kuh-ke-nah Network (KO-KNET) it analyses first how digital infrastructures not only connect First Nations people and communities but also enable relationships between local communities and non-indigenous institutions. Second, and by drawing on KO-KNET&#8217;s homepage service MyKnet.org, it exemplifies how people appropriate digital technologies for their specific needs in a remote and isolated area. KO-KNET and its services facilitate First Nations&#8217; self-determined participation to regional, national, and even global ICT connectivity processes, contributing thus to the \u201cdigital demarginalization\u201d of Northwestern Ontario&#8217;s remote communities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.philbu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/budka_indi_infrastructure_appropriation.pdf\">Text (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Budka, P. 2015.
